PSA Corporation operates the world's largest integrated container port and transhipment hub in Singapore. In year 2000, it handled 19.77 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) of containers worldwide, including 17.04 million TEUs in Singapore. This represents 7.4% of the global container throughput and 25% of the world's total container transhipment throughput.

Today, as the "World's Port of Call", PSA Corporation provides every shipper in Singapore an unrivalled choice of 250 shipping lines with connections to 600 ports in 123 countries. This includes daily sailings to every major port in the world.

Building on its success at home, PSA Corporation is actively venturing overseas. The PSA Group participates in 13 port projects in eight countries around the world: Antwerp and Zeebrugge ports in Belgium; Muara Container Terminal in Brunei; Dalian, Fuzhou and Guangzhou Container Terminals in China; Tuticorin Container Terminal and Pipavav Port in India, Voltri Terminal Europa and Venice Container Terminal in Italy, Incheon Container Terminal in Korea, Sines Container Terminal in Portugal and Aden Container Terminal in Yemen.
